Renters’ Rights Act 2025 implementation roadmap
Further to London Forum’s recent update on the Renters’ Rights Act, the Government has published a roadmap with detail on how the reforms will be phased.
It will mean the end of fixed-term tenancies and the abolition of section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions from 1st May 2026. The six-month wait means landlords looking to exit the sector may sell up before then, forcing out tenants and indirectly pushing up rents in the process.
In late 2026 there will be a database of all PRS properties.
